DISMANTLING

Dismantling or deconstructing buildings has become more popular in recent years because it involves removing materials according to material type and segregating them for recycling. This has the benefit of minimising the amount of material going to landfill or can save costs by reusing materials where structures and plant are to undergo new construction or reconstruction.

For McFletch, dismantling techniques often feature at chemical works, with portable or steel frame buildings and pipework, where care in dismantling is required to avoid spillage or leakage of hazardous chemicals.
